My sci-fi horror story The Door Is Open leads off the Another Dimension anthology from Smoking Pen Press. It’s hard to describe the story without spoiling it, so let’s just say: never open a door that can’t be closed. You never know what may slip through.
My short horror story Feed the Worm has been accepted for publication in the Beautiful Darkness anthology by Dragon Soul Press. If you like stories about cosmic murder worms, this one’s for you!
My weird fiction story The Salt Circle has been accepted by The Literary Hatchet. It’s about a man who turns into a slug and his wife’s misguided attempt to keep him safe. This is probably the weirdest story I’ve ever written, so I’m thrilled that it actually found such a great home.
My horror drabble The Fog of War has been accepted into the Short Horror Stories anthology by Shacklebound Books. Set in the trenches of World War I, it captures a moment in the life of a soldier during a devastating mortar attack. This story joins my two other drabbles, Scrapple and Curiosity Kills, which were accepted a few weeks ago.
My cyberpunk story A Free Man has been accepted into The Mods anthology by Shacklebound Books. Set in the same world as my novella Override, it’s the story of an escaped prisoner and his attempt to use a human replication unit to evade capture.
My apocalyptic horror story Die on Your Feet is part of the Suddenly Shocking Vol. 15 episode of The NoSleep Podcast. It’s an allegory about what happens to people who deny the reality of their situation, despite all the evidence telling them they are wrong. The episode is only available to NoSleep Season Pass holders, so subscribe now to listen. You won’t be sorry.
The audio production of my horror story Feed the Worm is now available for free from The Night’s End Podcast. It’s an awesome production with lush soundscapes and nightmare sound effects that really heighten the suspense and terror. The screams at the end make the conclusion even more horrifying than I imagined when I wrote it.
Three of my horror drabbles have been published in the Drabbledark II anthology by Shacklebound Books.
My underwater horror story A Sinking Feeling has been accepted by Eerie River Publishing as an exclusive for their Patreon subscribers. It’s the story of two survivors trapped in an air pocket in a sunken ship at the bottom of the ocean. And they’re not alone.
The audiobook version of my body horror story A Thing of Beauty is now available on Audible as part of the Screaming in the Night anthology by Sinister Smile Press.
